Thought Mike and others might be interested in this mega effort posted on the PI forums......

That's certainly a fantastic result!

[jjjnettie]

What a mammoth effort!!!
And wow, what a result.
Thanks for the link Rob.

[Peter.M]

Amazing image, the integration time seems mammoth until you realise that their 6 identicle mountain top scopes can do it all in one night.

[strongmanmike]

Not bad huh? Kinda Looks processed though...:confuse3:

Still rather amazing

Mike

[RobF]

Yeah, the PI guys go a bit over board with hard processing sometimes I worry (what would David M say!?), but you have to give it Jack Harvey and crew, they do amazing work with amazing gear.

I am surprised there is not more detail for such a long exposure :shrug:
Where are the blue arcs and other details which are seen in images taken by Mike Sidonio and others :question:
Is it to do with the different filters ect :question:
Cheers :thumbsup:

[RB]

No Ron, Mike Sidonio's scope is not very well corrected.
Mike get yourself a TOA 150.

:P :poke:

Thanks Rob,
That pic has so much resolution.
I thought it was a hubble pic!

I think it was taken from this batch of professional observatories.

That's gotta be the best one taken for sure. Even on my iPhone, it looks 3D. :eyepop:
